Portland Restaurant Gado Gado Will Start Serving Brunch July 13 - Eater Portland
"Gado Gado, the buzzy Indonesian-meets-Chinese-meets-Bostonian restaurant in the Hollywood District, will serve Malaysian-stuffed flatbread, veggie congee, and shrimp dumplings at its first brunch service this weekend. The restaurant, which opened last month, started getting into the brunch world as a pop-up, selling dishes like the Indonesian rice porridge bubur ayam and bubbly puffed waffles out of Guilder cafe in Northeast Portland. Devotees will find a handful of those early brunch items on the restaurant’s opening menu. The rice porridge, infused with warm spices like nutmeg and clove, comes two ways: The bubur ayam arrives topped with fried chicken, pork floss, a quail egg, and a smattering of other accoutrement; vegetarians can stick to a veggie congee, which comes with fresh corn, blistered tomato, chickpea crisp, and a Chinese doughnut. The pandan bubble waffle, a sort of bubble-wrap-like sheet of waffle with Chinese origins, comes with whipped ricotta, sweetened condensed milk, Crunch Berries and real berries." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
